Quite inspiring -- but interesting to see HOW they run. High cadence, shortish steps and slow across the ground pace. Their running "style" is nothing like we often aspire to when we see "elite" fast runners.

Thanks for sharing Bazza - think that's my running style, although less of the glide! I can't seem to get my knees to lift. Inspirational to see the video.

That's the way I run - but I can't imagine running for further than 5k. My problem is I only have my local streets to run in as I don't have a car. I wish I had those beautiful trails to run along.

Never mind the "senior" bit - but one of them just knocked 4 minutes off my 10K time - with the other lady knocking off 13 minutes.... They ain't THAT slow.. :)

Of course I'm assuming the red clock is the one to watch... if it was the small yellow one then that's okay... hehehe... :)
